is used of moral "revival," Luke 15:24, "is alive again;" (b) of
sin, Rom. 7:9, "revived," lit., "lived again" i.e., it sprang
into activity, manifesting the evil inherent in it; here sin is
personified, by way of contrast to the man himself. Some mss.

"again."

<B-2,Verb,4148,ploutizo>

Right (not wrong--Noun and Adjective), Rightly
<A-1,Noun,1849,exousia>
"authority, power," is translated "right" in the RV, for AV,
"power," in John 1:12; Rom. 9:21; 1 Cor. 9:4,5,6,12 (twice),18;
2 Thess. 3:9, where the "right" is that of being maintained by
those among whom the ministers of the gospel had labored, a
"right" possessed in virtue of the "authority" given them by
Christ, Heb. 13:10; Rev. 22:14.
Exousia first denotes "freedom to act" and then "authority for the action." This is first true of God, Acts 1:7. It was exercised by the Son of God, as from, and in conjunction with, the Father when the Lord was upon earth, in the days of His flesh, Matt. 9:6; John 10:18, as well as in resurrection, Matt. 28:18; John 17:2. All others hold their freedom to act from God (though some of them have abused it), whether angels, Eph. 1:21, or human potentates, Rom. 13:1. Satan offered to delegate his authority over earthly kingdoms to Christ, Luke 4:6, who, though conscious of His "right" to it, refused, awaiting the Divinely appointed time. See AUTHORITY, No. 1, and for various synonyms see DOMINION, No. 1, Note.
<B-1,Adjective,1342,dikaios>
"just, righteous, that which is in accordance with" dike, "rule,
right, justice," is translated "right" in Matt. 20:4; Matt.
20:7, AV only (RV omits, according to the most authentic mss.
the clause having been inserted from ver. 4, to the detriment of
the narrative); Luke 12:57; Acts 4:19; Eph. 6:1; Phil. 1:7, RV
(AV, "meet"); 2 Pet. 1:13 (AV, "meet"). See JUST, RIGHTEOUS.
<B-2,Adjective,2117,euthus>
"straight," hence, metaphorically, "right," is so rendered in
Acts 8:21, of the heart; Acts 13:10, of the ways of the Lord; 2
Pet. 2:15. See STRAIGHT.
<C-1,Adverb,3723,orthos>
"rightly" (akin to orthos, "straight, direct"), is translated
"plain" in Mark 7:35; in Luke 7:43; 20:21, "rightly;" in Luke
10:28, "right."
Notes: (1) For "right mind" see MIND, B, No. 5. (2) For the AV, "rightly" in 2 Tim. 2:15, see DIVIDE, A, No. 8.
Right (opp. to left), Right hand, Right side
<1,,1188,dexios>
an adjective, used (a) of "the right" as opposite to the left,
e.g., Matt. 5:29,30; Rev. 10:5, RV, "right hand;" in connection
with armor (figuratively), 2 Cor. 6:7; with en, followed by the
dative plural, Mark 16:5; with ek, and the genitive plural,
e.g., Matt. 25:33,34; Luke 1:11; (b) of giving the "right hand"
of fellowship, Gal. 2:9, betokening the public expression of
approval by leaders at Jerusalem of the course pursued by Paul
and Barnabas among the Gentiles; the act was often the sign of a
pledge, e.g. 2 Kings 10:15; 1 Chron. 29:24, marg.; Ezra 10:19;
Ezek. 17:18; figuratively, Lam. 5:6; it is often so used in the
papyri; (c) metaphorically of "power" or "authority," Acts 2:33;
with ek, signifying "on," followed by the genitive plural, Matt.
26:64; Mark 14:62; Heb. 1:13; (d) similarly of "a place of honor
in the messianic kingdom," Matt. 20:21; Mark 10:37.
Righteous, Righteously
<A-1,Adjective,1342,dikaios>
signifies "just," without prejudice or partiality, e.g., of the
judgment of God, 2 Thess. 1:5,6; of His judgments, Rev. 16:7;
19:2; of His character as Judge, 2 Tim. 4:8; Rev. 16:5; of His
ways and doings, Rev. 15:3. See further under JUST, A, No. 1,
RIGHT, B, No. 1.
In the following the RV substitues "righteous" for the AV "just;" Matt. 1:19; 13:49; 27:19,24; Mark 6:20; Luke 2:25; 15:7; 20:20; 23:50; John 5:30; Acts 3:14; 7:52; 10:22; 22:14; Rom. 1:17; 7:12; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38; Jas. 5:6; 1 Pet. 3:18; 2 Pet. 2:7; 1 John 1:9; Rev. 15:3.
<B-1,Adverb,1346,dikaios>
is translated "righteously" in 1 Cor. 15:34, RV, "(awake up)
righteously," AV, "(awake to) righteousness;" 1 Thess. 2:10, RV
(AV, "justly"); Titus 2:12; 1 Pet. 2:23. See JUSTLY.
Notes: (1) In Rev. 22:11 the best texts have dikaiosune, "righteousness," with poieo, "to do," RV, "let him do righteousness;" the AV follows those which have the Passive Voice of dikaioo and renders it "let him be righteous," lit., "let him be made righteous." (2) Dikaiokrisia, "righteous judgement" (dikaios, and krisis), occurs in Rom. 2:5.
Righteousness
<1,,1343,dikaiosune>
is "the character or quality of being right or just;" it was
formerly spelled "rightwiseness," which clearly expresses the
meaning. It is used to denote an attribute of God, e.g., Rom.
3:5, the context of which shows that "the righteousness of God"
means essentially the same as His faithfulness, or truthfulness,
that which is consistent with His own nature and promises; Rom.
3:25,26 speaks of His "righteousness" as exhibited in the Death
of Christ, which is sufficient to show men that God is neither
indifferent to sin nor regards it lightly. On the contrary, it
demonstrates that quality of holiness in Him which must find
expression in His condemnation of sin.
"Dikaiosune is found in the sayings of the Lord Jesus, (a) of whatever is right or just in itself, whatever conforms to the revealed will of God, Matt. 5:6,10,20; John 16:8,10; (b) whatever has been appointed by God to be acknowledged and obeyed by man. Matt. 3:15; 21:32; (c) the sum total of the requirements of God, Matt. 6:33; (d) religious duties, Matt. 6:1 (distinguished as almsgiving, man's duty to his neighbor, Matt. 6:2-4, prayer, his duty to God, Matt. 6:5-15, fasting, the duty of self-control, Matt. 6:16-18).
"In the preaching of the Apostles recorded in Acts the word has the same general meaning. So also in Jas. 1:20; 3:18, in both Epp. of Peter, 1st John and the Revelation. In 2 Pet. 1:1, 'the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ,' is the righteous dealing of God with sin and with sinners on the ground of the Death of Christ. 'Word of righteousness,' Heb. 5:13, is probably the gospel, and the Scriptures as containing the gospel, wherein is declared the righteousness of God in all its aspects.
"This meaning of dikaiosune, right action, is frequent also in Paul's writings, as in all five of its occurrences in Rom. 6; Eph. 6:14, etc. But for the most part he uses it of that gracious gift of God to men whereby all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are brought into right relationship with God. This righteousness is unattainable by obedience to any law, or by any merit of man's own, or any other condition than that of faith in Christ ... The man who trusts in Christ becomes 'the righteousness of God in Him,' 2 Cor. 5:21, i.e., becomes in Christ all that God requires a man to be, all that he could never be in himself. Because Abraham accepted the Word of God, making it his own by that act of the mind and spirit which is called faith, and, as the sequel showed, submitting himself to its control, therefore God accepted him as one who fulfilled the whole of His requirements, Rom. 4:3. ...
"Righteousness is not said to be imputed to the believer save in the sense that faith is imputed ("reckoned' is the better word) for righteousness. It is clear that in Rom. 4:6,11, 'righteousness reckoned' must be understood in the light of the context, 'faith reckoned for righteousness,' Rom. 4:3,5,9,22. 'For' in these places is eis, which does not mean 'instead of,' but 'with a view to.' The faith thus exercised brings the soul into vital union with God in Christ, and inevitably produces righteousness of life, that is, conformity to the will of God." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 246, 247.]
<2,,1345,dikaioma>
is the concrete expression of "righteousness:" see
JUSTIFICATION, A, No. 2.
Note: In Heb. 1:8, AV, euthutes, "straightness, uprightness" (akin to euthus "straight, right"), is translated "righteousness" (RV, "uprightness;" AV, marg., "rightness, or straightness").
Ring
<1,,1146,daktulios>
"a finger ring," occurs in Luke 15:22.
Note: Chrusodaktulios, an adjective signifying "with a gold ring," "a gold-ringed (person)," from chrusos, "gold," and daktulos, "a finger," occurs in Jas. 2:2.
Ringleader
<1,,4414,protostates>
"one who stands first" (protos, "first," histemi, "to cause to
stand"), was used of soldiers, one who stands in the front rank;
hence, metaphorically, "a leader," Acts 24:5.
Riot, Rioting, Riotous, Riotously
<A-1,Noun,810,astia>
"prodigality, a wastefulness, profligacy" (a negative, sozo, "to
save") is rendered "riot" in Eph. 5:18, RV (AV, "excess"); Titus
1:6; 1 Pet. 4:4 (AV and RV, "riot"). The corresponding verb is
found in a papyrus writing, telling of "riotous living" (like
the adverb asotos, see B). In the Sept., Prov. 28:7. Cp. the
synonymous word aselgeia (under LASCIVIOUSNESS).
<A-2,Noun,2970,komos>
"a revel," is rendered "rioting" in Rom. 13:13, AV: See REVEL.
<A-3,Noun,5172,truphe>
"luxuriousness," is rendered "riot" in 2 Pet. 2:13, AV; see
DELICATELY, REVEL.
<A-4,Noun,4714,stasis>
primarily "a standing" (akin to histemi, "to caused to (stand),"
then "an insurection," is translated "riot" in Acts 19:40, RV
(AV, "uproar"). See DISSENSION, INSURRECTION, SEDITION, UPROAR.
<B-1,Adverb,811,asotos>
"wastefully" (akin to A, No. 1), is translated "with riotous
living" in Luke 15:13; though the word does not necessarily
signify "dissolutely," the parable narrative makes clear that
this is the meaning here. In the Sept., Prov. 7:11.
Note: The verb ekchuno, a Hellenistic form of ekcheo (though the form actually used is the regular classical aorist Passive of ekcheo), "to pour out, shed," is translated "ran riotously" in Jude 1:11, RV (AV, "ran greedily"); see POUR, SHED.
Ripe (to be fully)
<1,,187,akmazo>
"to be at the prime" (akin to akme, "a point"), "to be ripe," is
translated "are fully ripe" in Rev. 14:18.
<2,,3583,xeraino>
"to dry up, wither," is used of "ripened" crops in Rev. 14:15,
RV, "overripe," AV, "ripe" (marg., "dried"). See DRY, B,
OVERRIPE, WITHER.
<3,,3860,paradidomi>
"to give over, commit, deliver," etc., also signifies "to
permit;" in Mark 4:29, of the "ripe" condition of corn, RV, and
AV marg., "is ripe;" RV marg., "alloweth" (the nearest
rendering); AV, "is brought forth."
Rise, Rising * Notes: (1) For the various verbs anistemi, exanistemi, egeiro, anabaino, anatello, sunephistemi, see under ARISE. (2) For the AV, "should rise" in Acts 26:23, See RESURRECTION. (3) Exanistemi, transitively, "to raise up" (ek, "out, from, out of"), is used intransitively in Acts 15:5, "there rose up," i.e., from the midst of a gathered company. See RAISE. (4) For the AV and RV of sunegeiro, "to raise together with," and in the Passive Voice in Col. 2:12; 3:1, see RAISE. (5) For the word "rising," which is used to translate the verbs anatello in Mark 16:2, and anistemi, in Mark 9:10, see under ARISE, Nos. 9 and 1 respectively. (6) For katephistemi, Acts 18:12, RV, See INSURRECTION, B. (7) Epanistamai, "to rise up against," occurs in Matt. 10:21; Mark 13:12. (8) Anastasis, is rendered "rising up" in Luke 2:34, RV.
River

Matt. 7:25,27; (c) "a river," natural, Matt. 3:6, RV; Mark 1:5;
Acts 16:13; 2 Cor. 11:26, RV (AV, "waters"); Rev. 8:10; 9:14;
16:4,12; symbolical, Rev. 12:15 (1st part), RV, "river" (AV,
"flood"); so Rev. 12:16; 22:1,2 (cp. Gen. 2:10; Ezek. 47);
figuratively, John 7:38, "the effects of the operation of the
Holy Spirit in and through the believer." See FLOOD, WATER.
Note: For potamophoretos in Rev. 12:15, see FLOOD, B.
Roar, Roaring
<A-1,Verb,3455,mukaomai>
properly of oxen, an onomatopeic word, "to low, bellow," is used
of a lion, Rev. 10:3.
<A-2,Verb,5612,oruomai>
"to howl" or "roar," onomatopoeic, of animals or men, is used of
a lion, 1 Pet. 5:8, as a simile of Satan.
<B-1,Noun,2279,echos>
"a noise" or "sound" (Eng., "echo"), is used of the "roaring" of
the sea in Luke 21:25, in the best mss., "for the roaring (of
the sea and the billows)," RV; some mss. have the present
participle of echeo, "to sound," AV, "(the sea and the waves)
roaring. See RUMOR, SOUND.
Rob
<1,,4813,sulao>
"to plunder, spoil," is translated "I robbed" in 2 Cor. 11:8.
Cp. sulagogeo, "to make spoil of," Col. 2:8.
<2,,2603,katabrabeuo>
"to give judgment against, to condemn" (kata, "against," and
brabeus, "an umpire;" cp. brabeion, "a prize in the games," 1
Cor. 9:24; Phil. 3:14, and brabeuo, "to act as an umpire,
arbitrate," Col. 3:15), occurs in Col. 2:18, RV, "let (no man)
rob (you) of your prize" (AV, "... beguile ... of your reward"),
said of false teachers who would frustrate the faithful
adherence of the believers to the truth, causing them to lose
their reward. Another rendering closer to the proper meaning of
the word, as given above, is "let no man decide for or against
you" (i.e., without any notion of a prize); this suitably
follows the word "judge" in ver. 16, i.e., "do not give
yourselves up to the judgment and decision of any man" (AV,
marg., "judge against").
Robber
<1,,3027,lestes>
"a robber, brigand" (akin to leia, "booty"), "one who plunders
openly and by violence" (in contrast to kleptes, "a thief," see
below), is always translated "robber" or "robbers" in the RV, as
the AV in John 10:1,8; 18:40; 2 Cor. 11:26; the AV has "thief"
or "thieves" in Matt. 21:13, and parallel passages; Matt. 26:55,
and parallel passages; Matt. 27:38,44; Mark 15:27; Luke
10:30,36; but "thief" is the meaning of kleptes. See THIEF.
<2,,2417,hierosulos>
an adjective signifying "robbing temples" (hieron, "a temple,"
and sulao, "to rob"), is found in Acts 19:37. Cp. hierosuleo,
"to rob a temple," Rom. 2:22, AV, "commit sacrilege."
Robbery * For ROBBERY see PRIZE
Robe
<1,,4749,stole>
for which see CLOTHING, No. 8, is translated "robe" in Mark
16:5, RV (AV, "garment"); "long robes" in Luke 20:46.
<2,,5511,chlamus>

Note (4).
<3,,2440,himation>
is translated "robe" in the AV of John 19:2,5 (RV, "garment").
See APPAREL, No. 2, CLOTHING, No. 2, GARMENT.
<4,,2066,esthes>
"apparel," is translated "robe" in Luke 23:11 (RV, "apparel").
See APPAREL, No. 1.
Rock
<1,,4073,petra>
denotes "a mass of rock," as distinct from petros, "a detached
stone or boulder," or a stone that might be thrown or easily
moved. For the nature of petra, see Matt. 7:24,25; 27:51,60;
Mark 15:46; Luke 6:48 (twice), a type of a sure foundation (here
the true reading is as in the RV, "because it had been well
builded"); Rev. 6:15,16 (cp. Isa. 2:19,ff.; Hos. 10:8); Luke
8:6,13, used illustratively; 1 Cor. 10:4 (twice), figuratively,
of Christ; in Rom. 9:33; 1 Pet. 2:8, metaphorically, of Christ;
in Matt. 16:18, metaphorically, of Christ and the testimony
concerning Him; here the distinction between petra, concerning
the Lord Himself, and Petros, the Apostle, is clear (see above).
<2,,4694,spilas>
"a rock or reef," over which the sea dashes, is used in Jude
1:12, "hidden rocks," RV, metaphorical of men whose conduct is a
danger to others. A late meaning ascribed to it is that of
"spots," (AV), but that rendering seems to have been influenced
by the parallel passage in 2 Pet. 2:13, where spiloi, "spots,"
occurs.
Rocky
<1,,4075,petrodes>
"rock-like" (petra, "a rock," eidos, "a form, appearance"), is
used of "rock" underlying shallow soil, Matt. 13:5,20, RV, "the
rocky places" (AV, "stony places"); Mark 4:5, RV, "the rocky
ground" (AV, "stony ground"); Mark 4:16, RV, "rocky places" (AV,
"stony ground").
Note: In Acts 27:29, AV, the phrase tracheis topoi, lit., "rough places," is translated "rocks" (RV, "rocky ground").
Rod
<A-1,Noun,4464,rhabdos>
"a staff, rod, scepter," is used (a) of Aaron's "rod," Heb. 9:4;
(b) a staff used on a journey, Matt. 10:10, RV, "staff" (AV,
"staves"); so Luke 9:3; Mark 6:8, "staff;" Heb. 11:21, "staff;"
(c) a ruler's staff, a "scepter," Heb. 1:8 (twice); elsewhere a
"rod," Rev. 2:27; 12:5; 19:15; (d) a "rod" for chastisement
(figuratively), 1 Cor. 4:21; (e) a measuring "rod," Rev. 11:1.

<B-1,Verb,4463,rhabdizo>
"to beat with a rod," is used in Acts 16:22, RV, "to beat ...
with rods;" 2 Cor. 11:25. The "rods" were those of the Roman
lictors or "serjeants" (rhabdouchoi, lit., "rod-bearers"); the
Roman beating with "rods" is distinct from the Jewish infliction
of stripes. In the Sept., Jud., 6:11; Ruth 2:17. Cp. Matt.
26:67, RV marg.; John 18:22 (AV marg., and RV marg.); 19:3, RV

Roll (Noun and Verb) <A-1,Verb,617,apokulio | apokulizo> "to roll away" (apo, "from," kulio, "to roll;" cp. Eng., "cylinder," etc.), is used of the sepulchre stone, Matt. 28:2; Mark 16:3 (ver. 4 in some mss.; see No. 2); Luke 24:2. In the Sept., Gen. 29:3,8,10.

"to wrap up, roll round or about," is translated "rolled up" in
John 20:7, RV, of the cloth or "napkin" that had been wrapped
around the head of the Lord before burial. Both the RV and the
AV, "wrapped together," might suggest that this cloth had been
"rolled" or wrapped up and put in a certain part of the tomb at
the Lord's resurrection, whereas, as with the body wrappings,
the head cloth was lying as it had been "rolled" round His head,
an evidence, to those who looked into the tomb, of the fact of
His resurrection without any disturbance of the wrappings either
by friend or foe or when the change took place. It is followed
by en, "in," and translated "wrapped" in Matt. 27:59, a meaning
and construction which Moulton and Milligan illustrate from the
papyri; in Luke 23:53 it is followed by the dative of the noun
sindon, "linen cloth," used instrumentally. See WRAP.

arbitrate, decide," Col. 3:15, "rule" (RV, marg., "arbitrate"),
representing "the peace of Christ" (RV) as deciding all matters

<3,,2888,kosmokrator>
denotes "a ruler of this world" (contrast pantokrator,
"almighty"). In Greek literature, in Orphic hymns, etc., and in

world lord. In the NT it is used in Eph. 6:12, "the world rulers
(of this darkness)," RV, AV, "the rulers (of the darkness) of
this world." The context ("not against flesh and blood") shows
that not earthly potentates are indicated, but spirit powers,
who, under the permissive will of God, and in consequence of
human sin, exercise satanic and therefore antagonistic authority
over the world in its present condition of spiritual darkness
and alienation from God. The suggested rendering "the rulers of
this dark world" is ambiguous and not phraseologically
requisite. Cp. John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4.
<4,,4173,politarches>
"a ruler of a city" (polis, "a city," archo, "to rule"), "a
politarch," is used in Acts 17:6,8, of the magistrates in
Thessalonica, before whom the Jews, with a mob of market idlers,
dragged Jason and other converts, under the charge of showing
hospitality to Paul and Silas, and of treasonable designs
against the emperor. Thessalonica was a "free" city and the
citizens could choose their own politarchs. The accuracy of Luke
has been vindicated by the use of the term, for while classical
authors use the terms poliarchos and politarchos of similar
"rulers," the form used by Luke is supported by inscriptions
discovered at Thessalonica, one of which mentions Sosipater,
Secundus, and Gaius among the politarchs, names occurring as
those of Paul's companions. Prof. Burton of Chicago, in a paper
on "The Politarchs," has recorded 17 inscriptions which attest
their existence, thirteen of which belong to Macedonia and five
presumably to Thessalonica itself, illustrating the influence of
Rome in the municipal organization of the place.
<5,,755,architriklinos>
denotes "the superintendent of a banquet," whose duty lay in
arranging the tables and food (arche, "ruler," triklinos, lit.,
"a room with three couches"), John 2:8,9.
Notes: (1) In Mark 13:9; Luke 21:12, AV, hegemon, "a leader, a governor of a province," is translated "ruler" (RV, "governor"). See Gov. ERNOR, PRINCE, No. 3. (2) For "ruler" of the synagogue, see SYNAGOGUE. (3) In Matt. 24:45, AV, kathistemi, "to appoint," is translated "hath made ruler" (RV, "hath set"); so in Matt. 24:47; 25:21,23; Luke 12:42,44.
Rumor
<1,,189,akoe>
"a hearing," is translated "rumor" in Matt. 24:6; Mark 13:7. See
HEARING, B, No. 1.

<1,,5143,trecho>

aorist participle, from an obsolete verb dramo, but supplying
certain forms absent from trecho, lit., "having run, running,"
expressive of the decisiveness of the act); the same form in the
indicative mood is used, e.g., in Matt. 28:8; in the Gospels the
literal meaning alone is used; elsewhere in 1 Cor. 9:24 (twice
in 1st part); Rev. 9:9, AV, "running" (RV, "rushing"); (b)
metaphorically, from the illustration of "runners" in a race, of
either swiftness or effort to attain an end, Rom. 9:16,
indicating that salvation is not due to human effort, but to
God's sovereign right to exercise mercy; 1 Cor. 9:24 (2nd part),
and 1 Cor. 9:26, of persevering activity in the Christian course
with a view to obtaining the reward; so Heb. 12:1; in Gal. 2:2

tense, referring to the activity of the special service of his
mission to Jerusalem; (2nd part), "had run," aorist tense,
expressive of the continuous past, referring to the activity of
his antagonism to the Judaizing teachers at Antioch, and his
consent to sumbit the case to the judgment of the church in
Jerusalem; in Gal. 5:7 of the erstwhile faithful course
doctrinally of the Galatian believers; in Phil. 2:16, of the

See RUSH. (2) In Acts 21:30, sundrome, "a running together," with ginomai, "to become, take place," is translated "ran together," lit., "a running together took place." (3) In Matt. 9:17, AV ekcheo, "to pour out," used in the Passive Voice (RV, "is spilled"), is translated "runneth out. (4) In Acts 14:14, RV, ekpedao, "to spring forth," is translated "sprang forth" (this verb is found in the papyri); the AV, "ran in" translates the mss. which have eispedao, "to spring in." (5) Katatrecho, "to run down," occurs in Acts 21:32.
Rush, Rushing
<1,,3729,hormao>
for which see RUN, Note (1), with refs., is akin to horme (see
ASSAULT) and hormema, "a rushing" (see VIOLENCE).
<2,,5342,phero>

to denote "rust" in Matt. 6:19,20. See EAT, B, No. 1, FOOD,

an Aramaic word signifying "Thou hast forsaken Me," is recorded
as part of the utterance of Christ on the Cross, Matt. 27:46;
Mark 15:34, a quotation from Ps. 22:1. Recently proposed
renderings which differ from those of the AV and RV have not
been sufficiently established to require acceptance.
Sabaoth
<1,,4519,sabaoth>
is the transliteration of a Hebrew word which denotes "hosts" or
"armies," Rom. 9:29; Jas. 5:4. While the word "hosts" probably
had special reference to angels, the title "the Lord of hosts"
became used to designate Him as the One who is supreme over all
the innumerable hosts of spiritual agencies, or of what are
described as "the armies of heaven." Eventually it was used as
equivalent to "the Lord all-sovereign." In the prophetical books
of the OT the Sept. sometimes has Kurios Sabaoth as the
equivalent of "the LORD of hosts," sometimes Kurios Pantokrator,
in Job, it uses Pantokrator to render the Hebrew Divine title
Shadday (see ALMIGHTY).
